Dual Credit

Tuition

Tuition for a college course taken through WKU Dual Credit is $156* ($52 per credit
hour). This is a substantial savings, considering that in-state tuition at WKU is
typically $1,143 per course.

There is no application fee for dual credit students.

Tuition Billing and Payment Process

Students will receive an e-bill from WKU for their dual credit course(s). This e-bill
will be sent to the student’s university email account. In order to access their WKU
email accounts students should set up their TopNet account at www.topnet.wku.edu and then their email account at webmail.wku.edu. Tutorials for TopNet and WKU’s email can be accessed at www.wku.edu/dualcredit/wku-accounts-tutorial.php.

Payment for dual credit courses should be remitted to WKU by the date indicated on
the e-bill. If tuition has not been paid by October 1 (Fall Semester Enrollment) or
March 1 (Spring Semester Enrollment) the student will receive a financial warning.
A hold is placed on unpaid accounts preventing further course registration and access
to WKU services. If a student wishes to withdraw from a dual credit course, it is
their responsibility to notify the Dual Credit office. Failure to officially withdraw
from a course, if desired, may result in earning a failing grade and/or a financial
obligation. For questions about your account or requests for withdraw, email dual.credit@wku.edu or call 270-745-3067.

*Dual credit tuition does not include the cost of textbooks, which varies depending
on the course.
